From: Miaohe Lin <linmiaohe@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/swapfile.c: remove unnecessary out label in __swap_duplicate() When the code went to the out label, it must have p == NULL. So what out label really does is redundant if check and return err. We should Remove this unnecessary out label because it does not handle resource free and so on.
